__Chapter 2__ - After the ceromony of thier old owners death, Mr. Robert said he was taking the two girls to Newport to be sold. Isabel stood up for thier freedom and said that on Mary Finches will it said that they were to go free and that it was read to her. Unfortunatly, Mr Robert sais this will is no where to be found and that slaves cant read and she is lying and he takes them off to be sold. I think that the girls will to to make a run for it and escape.

__Chapter 3__ - Isabel and Ruth got thier things and were taken to a tavern to be sold. They met a kind woman named Jenny who knew thier mother and tried to buy them but was out bid. There was a couple who offered to buy them but were also out bid by a loyalist couple (Locktons). I predict that Jenny will try to get them somehow.

__Chapter 4__ - They travel to New York from Rhode Island which takes them two days on boat and they remain below deck with farm animals. Isabel gets sea sick and goes above deck at night. I think Isabel will get in trouble alot with the Locktons because she is already disobeying. __Chapter 5__ - They arrive in New York and arent welcomed nicely. As the Locktons remove thier belonging thery are searched because people think they are working for the king. we learn that the Locktons are loyalists and thier personalities in this chapter. I predict that the Locktons are hiding something.

__Chapter 10__- That same night, Isabel snuck out of the house after everyone was asleep and found Curzon's so she could tell him what she overheard. He assured her that was great information, but he couldn't garuntee her freedom yet.
